I remember exchanging emails with them at least once.

Standard Thunderbird, Linux.
Mailer exim 4.0
Bind 9.4.0

I remember it worked with djbdns too.

No, I did not have a language tag.

There were no tricks besides using the Cesidian Root for DNS.
I guess the chinese used their native root.


Kind regards
Peter and Karin
